| Summary: | This article sketches a Lukan model of leadership. It argues that the Lukan vision of the kingdom of God is that of a future eschatological banquet, yet present in the ministry of the church. The kingdom is a place of eucharistic worship and creates a community characterized by mutual service and multi-ethnic hospitality. It offers a vision of leaders as servants who are empowered by the Spirit to perform liturgical–charismatic leadership, sharing the hospitality of God. Leading followers of Jesus are empowered by the Spirit and yet are suffering servants that in childlike faith depend on God. Because the kingdom is not fully realized, they also need to confront false teaching and deceptive leadership that threatens the integrity and hospitality of the church. Christian leaders are accountable to God but will serve as co-judges in the final judgement. They will enter the eschatological banquet sharing the joy of their master. |
